In our present day America, in what ways can we citizens portray courage? For example, fight in the armed forces. Can anyone think of other ways?

“That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

The true courage of a patriot of any country comes not from the ability to fight another nation, but by the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and then act upon it. Even if this means standing up against ones own government and policies.

VOTE
Register, get to the polls, help others. Do the research. Select carefully. Read up on current events and be bold enough to stand by your convictions. Not because some poll told you who would win, or some political language = lies. Be careful. Thank you.

Love and live morally. Support your community. Kindness to strangers, a mind to God and country. A will to create and make the most of your life. Higher morals that make your will to support the entire system of our Founding Fathers proud.

effect a positive change that does not include
killing or
pollution
i mean if they just had a quarter to buy a clue they could assume their rightful place in the world/country and participate in the solution instead of the problem.

To stand up for what they believe no matter how others feel. This might include demonstrating for equality for all or to protest something that you feel is unjust.

by definitely donating for charities and other people in need and standing united in times of strife; by voting for worthy candidates and being more aware of our surrounding
